what the People Expected.


80 the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Republicans Of Hamilton county feel
greatly Inundated at the surrenderng compro
mise of the Republican members Of the Legsla-
ture to the revolutionary mob led by Green
Smith. They were hopeful that in any emer-
gency when might arise their rights would not
be frittered away. They acknowledge and fully
appreciate the gallant campaign of General Ben
Harrison, and that in hotly-contested cam
paign, with the odds greatly against him. he
had fairly won the position of United States SEN
ator from this State and led his party TO grand
aud glorious victory, and they fully expected
the Republican mem bers Of the Legislature to
stand firmly and squarely upon their constitu
tionai right, and demand the rights and privi-
leges to which they were entitled by every rule
oflaw the knowledge of the fact that in the time of
supreme Importance their trusted servants
should become subservent to the dictates of the
garded as sad commentary on the valor and
COURAGE of Republican legislators, who certainly
had conviction to what were their rights
whole affair is looked upon uncalied-for
blow to General Harrison and Colonel Robertson
alike. The people expected their rights be
protected. and, if it became necessary to protect
their servants, ready to afford the protection
necessary to full. free and fair exercise of their
political rights They feel that Colonel Robert
Bon was legally and fairly elected, and that by
ali honest and honorable means he is Lieutsnant-
governor and Gen. Ben Harrison is entitled to
tho senatorship.

Inc compromise" on the part of the Republic

all the advantages they have heretofore possessed
for strict observance of law and order. 1t was
triumph OF the Democratic conspirators, and
vindlcation of the brutal Green Smith, which
nothing can justify the Republican members in
permitting by any voluntary action on their part.
A FATAL MISTAKE.
Peru republican.
The Republicans Of the Legislature made
fatal mistake Wednesday in making
any compromise with the aw-breaking
mob, calling itself the Senate, which has vio-
lated every rule of decency and fairness. The
compromise was made with gang of bruisars
only to give them an advantage. The proper
thing to DO was to put ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

not like it let them stay out. The Republicans
the case go to the United States Senate. They
have thrown away their opportunity. Our
motto is. no compromise with DULLES even to Sc
cure peace.

MADEA GREAT MISTAKE.
Greensburg Standard.
When the compromise was announced there
was the greatest indignation upon the part OF
the Republicans generally. and it was conceded
that the Republican Senators and Representa-
tives had made great mistake. Neither Lieu
Harrison were aware Of such action until it was
publicly announced. It is feared the Republic
ans have compromised away vantage ground that
will in the end result in the election of Demo
cratic Senator.

How They Feel in Eastern Indiana.


70 the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
The Republicans of eastern Indiana most
heartily indorse the position Of the Journal on
the Legislative compromise by which they
have been, in the language of the street, given
away and the whole party stultifed by the con-
duct of those who would rather sacrifice princi-
pie than lose place. Appealing to Stewards
''higher law is all right when the time comes
for appeal but demurrer comes before, and is
often a very necessary step preparatory to ap
peal. The record will be more effective when
presented to the higher court-the peope's-if
the appellant has raised the objection in the

ance, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., by cowardice-and

one of the most brilliant campaigns in the his
tory of the State--fought against great odds.
without the confidence of their own party in
their success, and against of the most in

won: victory which surprised their own
party-a victory almost frittered away by
this compromise. Randolph county feels
ASHAMED that, after she cast majority of over
